How many of us know that the Black lion Hospital is built with a monthly contribution from every Ethiopian during the era of the King?

  • The name I remember best is "Duke of Harrar" Hospital. My father was the chief architect. He worked on this project from 1963-1967, but I guess that the hospital was not finished until several years later because of financing. I have also heard the hospital being referred to as "Prince Makonnen Memorial Hospital".
